What stands out about Sioux Valley School District 05-5

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +14.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing South Dakota's statewide +10.1% by 4.0 points, a growth rate faster than 71% of the 146 South Dakota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 9.3% here, from 676 students in FY2019 to 739 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
